The Various Diseases Produced by

Unhealthy and Indiscreet Feeding.
A statement Of the so-called Salisbury
plans Of treating by alimentatlon the var
,ious diseases produced by unhealthy and
indiscreet feeding. BY j. II. Salisbury
M. D., London; Balliere, Tindall, and Cox
20 King William street, Strand, 1887.
The above volume is a complete and
concise expose Of the methods Of treat
ment-drinks, food, exercise, clothing
massage, massage, baths,nsed by the celebrated
disease by himself. All diseases, says our
studious microscopic, apart from injuries
and infections, have their genesis and de-
velopment In something we are doing daily
or habitually that we ought not to do, and
that this wrong doing 10 mainly In the d.
rection Of indiscreet and unhealthy alimen-
tion. The principal or most ordinary dis
eases produced By unhealthy feeding are
obesity, rheumatism, and the so called
rheumatic gout, the various forms of the
grayelly diathesis, uterine fbroids, and flo-
rous tumours generally; ovarian tumours,
goitre, locomotor ataXy, and all sclerotic
conditions and excessive developments of
either the connective or fatty tissues
wherever they may occur where such de-
velopmeIts do not normally belong;
Brights disease, diabetes, consump-
and both vegetable and meat dyspepsia,
and their outeomes. This list contains
the names of prevalent diseases whose
dreadful symptoms are familiar to, alas too
many persons. TO what deplorabe state
Of vitiation and degeneracy have we brought
the bloom Of primeval vigor by long
course Of imprudent and ill-devised eating
DR.. Salisbury has perfected his system of
treatment through series OF experiments
"a IN ba IL hr,
introduced the therapeutical drinking OF
water at temperature Of 1909 Fahrenheit.
The London Lancet recently speaks of the
hot water discovery as 'valuable American
contribution to medicine" The,directions
for the use Of the hot water and the broiled
lean beef are given so specifically that the
wayfaring man, though crank, cannot fail
to see on reading that the Salisbury plans
must keep all parts OF the system In the
ply OF this physiological System is to dis
pense with all foods, drinks, and medicines
that tend in any way to the getting and
keeping Of astrological elements, Or
gans, and tissues out Of order and to per-
sistently and continually feed and starve
tissue as long as any remnant OF the dis
ease remains-healthfull feeding those It's
sues that need nourishing and starving those
that have been over and unhealthfully fed
until tine normal balance in them Ia restored
and the beautiful symmetry attained which
is always the certain and sure outcome
OF healthy alimentation. The apostles
of hot water drinking know more OF its
gracious benefits than they will ever be
able to tell. Taken an hour and half
before meals and half hour before retir-
ING the water is an inward bath, soothing
all the nerves by its relaxing influence; It
relieves collie of the bowels, dilutes the
secretions of the body, and renders them
less tenacious, and It washes down the
bile, yeast, and slime, and waste, and
leaves the stomach clean for eating, as it Is
necessary to have 1t out of the bowels be-
fore eating. The habitual hot water
dfinker has q sweet breath, tastes clean to
himself; has clear red and white com.
plexion; never suffers from thirst or fever,
and is happy and cheerful, and, therefore,
a desirable companion on any occasion,
and the reason for all this is self-evident
from the above facts. The hot water and
the lean hroiled beef diet are not all OF the
treatment by any means, but their uae
constitute the most radical features OF the
plans to the uDscientific mind, and have,
therefore, been subject to the rldicule OF
the unsophistlcal-thos who dld not watt
to study the effects OF causes so apparently
simple. Proof of the success Of the system
Is abundant In the army of grateful ex-pa-
tients restored to health from all stages OF
disease ana some rescued from the very jaws
OF death by DIR. Salisbury's treatment, The
parlors Of his house, 0 West Twenty ninth
street, New York city, are daily thronged
with the consumptive, the halt, and the
dyspeptic, waiting for the boiling of the
water and for their interview with the doc.
tor. OF course, the practice has attracted
wide attention, and DR.. Salisbury is doing
bis utmost In assisting physiclans to adopt
his plans. Two physicians are practlcipp
in Cleveland, Ohio, under his directions,
and an office has been opened In London,
England, where the system is closely fol-
lowed In private and hospital practice aud
many suffering, despairing souls aud bodies
are getting relief through the benefcent
healing of the treatment, but DR.. Salisbury
should be at the head of great medical
college where many men might learn OF
